HUNTSMAN POLYURETHANES
Polyurethanes
Gel: a colloidal system consisting of a liquid which is dispersed in a solid polymeric matrix resulting in a soft, gelly, material.
Applications: Adhesives Energy absorbers, dampers
Gel
Polyurethanes
PU Gels
Hydrogel Poly(ethylene oxide) network swelled with water
Plasticizer gel PU network plasticized with phthalates
Polyol gel: PU network with excess multifunctional polyol
Monol gel*: Polyol mixture of diol and monol crosslinked with
multifunctional isocyanates
* US6908979 and US6914117 (Huntsman patents)

Polyol Gel
Materials: Rubinate 1209: prepolymer based on MDI (NCO% = 21.5) Jeffol G31-55: polyether triol (OHv = 55)

Before gel point: Initial and Mw growth is nearly independent of index:
log() ~ t
After gel point: index r crosslink density #dangling chain
